The residential communities of Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, Vasant Kunj, Green Park, and the surrounding neighbourhoods of South West Delhi include some of Delhi's most thoughtful, spiritually curious, and psychologically sophisticated residents. Over the past decade, interest in past life regression therapy — once considered the preserve of the spiritually inclined fringe — has grown substantially in these communities, as people bring both intellectual rigour and genuine inner inquiry to the question of what lies beneath the surface of their conscious experience.
Anuradha Banerji Sarkar has been offering past life regression therapy in South Delhi for over 35 years — long before it became fashionable — and her approach is as grounded and clinical as it is open to the profound mystery of what emerges in these sessions. This guide is for anyone in Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, or the surrounding area who is considering PLR and wants to understand exactly what it involves.
Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas & the PLR-Curious Client
The residential communities of Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, and Vasant Kunj have a distinctive character in Delhi's psychological landscape. They include a high proportion of internationally educated professionals, diplomats, academics, creative practitioners, and senior civil servants — people who are accustomed to applying intellectual rigour to unfamiliar questions, who have exposure to psychological approaches beyond the conventional, and who bring both scepticism and genuine open-mindedness to their healing journeys.
The PLR clients who travel to Anuradha's South Delhi practice from these areas tend to be self-aware and well-informed. They come with specific questions — about a recurring nightmare that has persisted for 20 years without explanation; about a phobia of water that made no sense in the context of their current life; about a quality of deep grief or longing for something they cannot identify; about a relationship dynamic that carries an inexplicable quality of familiarity, as if it has happened before. They come, in many cases, having already tried more conventional therapeutic approaches and found that something essential has not been reached.
The intellectual community of Hauz Khas — artists, academics, senior journalists, writers — brings a particularly interesting orientation to PLR. The capacity for imaginative engagement with an inner experience, the tolerance for ambiguity, the interest in meaning-making — these are qualities that make PLR work both richer and more productive. Anuradha's experience with this community is that the most intellectually disciplined clients often produce the most remarkable sessions, because the capacity for inner attention they have developed through their professional and creative work translates powerfully into the therapeutic exploration.
What Actually Happens in a PLR Session
Demystifying the mechanics of a PLR session is important. Many people who are curious about past life regression have a picture of the process derived from popular culture representations that bears little relationship to the clinical reality. A PLR session with Anuradha Banerji Sarkar is not dramatic, not theatrical, and not remotely like the hypnosis of stage performance. It is careful, gradual, and deeply collaborative.
The session begins with a detailed clinical conversation — typically 20 to 30 minutes — in which Anuradha listens to your presenting concerns and the specific questions or experiences that have brought you to PLR. This conversation serves a clinical function: it helps her understand what the most useful approach will be, what specific patterns or experiences might be most important to explore, and — crucially — it begins to establish the quality of therapeutic relationship that makes it safe to go deep in the subsequent work.
Anuradha then explains the hypnotherapeutic process — what you will experience, what will and will not happen, how to communicate with her during the session, and what to expect afterwards. Nothing proceeds without your full informed understanding and consent. The experience of knowing exactly what is happening and why — of being genuinely in control of the process — is itself therapeutically valuable, particularly for first-time clients who may have some anxiety about the unfamiliarity of the experience.
The induction — the process of guiding you into the hypnotic state — takes 15 to 20 minutes. Anuradha uses a combination of progressive relaxation, guided breathing, and focused attention techniques developed over decades of clinical practice. The resulting state is deeply pleasant — most clients describe it as similar to the state just before sleep, with a quality of focused inner awareness and a loosening of the usual vigilant monitoring of the conscious mind. You do not go unconscious. You do not lose control. You do not say or do anything you would not choose to say or do. You remain, throughout, the author of your own experience.
From this state, the regression is guided using gentle, open-ended questions. Anuradha never tells you what you will find or suggests what the experiences mean. The process is genuinely exploratory: she is as interested as you are in what emerges, and her questions are designed to help you go deeper into your own experience rather than in any particular direction that she might have anticipated. What arises is always genuinely your own material.
What Emerges — The Range of Experiences
The experiences that emerge in PLR sessions vary considerably in their character and presentation. For some clients, the material appears with the vividness and detail of a waking dream — specific locations, clothing, physical sensations, relationships, events. For others, it presents more as a felt sense — a quality of knowing something, being somewhere, experiencing an emotional reality — without the vivid visual clarity. Both are equally valid and equally therapeutically useful: the material that arises is the material that the psyche is ready to work with, in whatever form is most accessible for that particular client.
The emotional intensity of PLR experiences can be significant. Old grief, old fear, old patterns of relationship and suffering — these are often the material that surfaces, because they are the material that has been influencing the current life without conscious awareness. Anuradha is always present throughout, monitoring the client's state, providing support, and — where the material becomes overwhelming — guiding the client to a more comfortable position from which to continue the work.
After the regression, the integration conversation is as important as the session itself. What did you encounter? What connection can you draw between what emerged and the concerns that brought you to PLR? What needs to be released, acknowledged, grieved, or completed? This careful integration work — translating the experience into psychological insight and practical change — is where much of the lasting healing consolidates.
For the Sceptics — An Honest Conversation
A significant proportion of clients who come to Anuradha for PLR are not believers in past lives. They are people who have tried everything else, who have a problem that has not responded to conventional approaches, and who are willing — with whatever degree of scepticism — to try something different. Anuradha welcomes this orientation completely. She does not ask clients to believe anything before or after a session. She asks only that they remain genuinely open to their own experience — whatever that experience turns out to be.
The scientific and philosophical questions around PLR are genuinely complex and genuinely open. The therapeutic value of PLR is not genuinely open: it is documented in thousands of clinical cases, and the changes it produces in the presenting concerns that clients bring are real and measurable. Whether those changes occur because the experiences accessed in PLR are literal memories of past lives, symbolic expressions of the deep unconscious, inherited ancestral material, or something else entirely — is a fascinating question that Anuradha finds genuinely interesting and genuinely unresolved. She does not need to resolve it to do effective therapeutic work.
Booking a PLR Session Near Vasant Vihar and Hauz Khas
Anuradha's South Delhi practice is accessible from Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, Vasant Kunj, Green Park, Safdarjung, and the surrounding areas. For clients who prefer not to commute — or who are based in Gurgaon, Noida, or elsewhere — online PLR sessions are available and fully effective. Sessions are ₹2,000 per session, typically 60 to 90 minutes for PLR work. Hindi, English, and Bengali sessions are available. Use the contact buttons on this page to reach out. No prior experience with hypnotherapy or meditation is required. No particular belief is necessary. All that is needed is an open and genuine curiosity.
For the Analytical Client — What the Evidence Actually Shows
Given the intellectually rigorous character of Vasant Vihar and Hauz Khas's communities, an honest account of the PLR evidence base is more useful than reassurance. The scientific standing of past life regression is genuinely complex. What is not in scientific dispute is the physiological reality of the hypnotic state — well-documented through decades of neuroimaging — and the psychological reality of the experiences that arise in PLR sessions. Clients have vivid, emotionally resonant experiences they describe as memory-like. What is philosophically and scientifically disputed is the interpretation of these experiences.
Dr. Ian Stevenson at the University of Virginia produced perhaps the most methodologically rigorous work in the field — documenting children's spontaneous past-life memories with the specific criterion that the historical details provided by the child had to be verified before any possible conventional access to that information could have occurred. His database, now continued by Dr. Jim Tucker, contains thousands of cases from multiple cultures. The philosophical interpretation of these cases remains genuinely open. The quality of the clinical evidence for therapeutic benefit from PLR — regardless of interpretation — is not.
Online PLR for Vasant Vihar, Gurgaon and Noida Clients
A question many clients ask is whether past life regression conducted online can be as effective as in-person work. The intuitive concern — that the depth of the experience might somehow depend on physical co-presence with the therapist — is understandable but, in practice, largely unfounded. Online PLR requires: a quiet, private space where the client will not be disturbed; a comfortable position for the body; a stable internet connection; and the therapeutic relationship that Anuradha establishes in the initial conversation. All of these are fully achievable online, and her online PLR clients report experiences of equivalent depth and therapeutic significance to those of in-person clients.
For Vasant Vihar clients who work in Gurgaon and find the South Delhi commute impractical mid-week, or for Hauz Khas clients who prefer the privacy of home for this particular work, online sessions are fully recommended. The session fee is the same: Rs.2,000 per 60 to 90 minutes. Response within 24 hours via the contact buttons on this page.
Preparing for Your First PLR Session Near Vasant Vihar
If you have decided to try past life regression and are preparing for your first session, there are a few things that Anuradha finds consistently helpful for clients from the Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, and Green Park communities. Come with curiosity rather than expectation. The most productive sessions are those in which the client is genuinely open to whatever emerges — neither hoping for a specific kind of experience nor actively trying to make something happen. The unconscious mind has its own intelligence about what is ready to surface, and this intelligence is more reliable than any conscious agenda the client brings.
Bring whatever specific concerns have led you to PLR. The more specifically you can describe what has brought you — the phobia, the recurring dream, the relationship pattern, the quality of grief — the more clearly Anuradha can orient the session toward material most relevant to these concerns. And arrive without pressure on the outcome. Some clients have profound, vivid, immediately clarifying sessions on their first attempt. Others find the first session is primarily about settling into the process — becoming comfortable with the hypnotic state, learning how to navigate within it — and that the most significant material emerges in subsequent sessions. Both paths lead to the same place.

A Note on Openness — The Only Thing You Need to Bring
The clients who get the most from past life regression sessions are not those who arrive with the strongest belief in past lives, or with the most dramatic presenting concerns, or with the most detailed preparation. They are those who arrive with genuine openness — the willingness to experience whatever the session produces without pre-determining what it means or what it should be. This quality of openness, which is in some ways more demanding than conviction, is the only thing Anuradha asks clients to bring to their first PLR session. Everything else — the specific concerns, the therapeutic direction, the integration of whatever emerges — is her responsibility. If you are near Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, or Green Park, or if you are anywhere in the world with an internet connection, and this quality of openness is what you are bringing, reach out. Use the contact buttons on this page. Rs.2,000 per session. In-person and online. Responses within 24 hours.
The Most Useful Next Step
For Vasant Vihar, Hauz Khas, and Green Park residents considering past life regression — whether approaching it with complete scepticism, genuine belief, or genuine agnosticism — the most useful next step is not further research or further deliberation. It is a single initial conversation with Anuradha. Sixty minutes in which she understands your specific presenting concerns, your current situation, and what you are hoping for — and in which together you determine whether PLR is the most appropriate approach and what the work might look like. This conversation is available in-person at the South Delhi practice (accessible from Vasant Vihar without significant commute) or online. Rs.2,000 per session. Response within 24 hours. For the intellectually curious and the genuinely open, this first conversation is itself often interesting — a clear, honest, clinically grounded account of what PLR actually involves, from someone who has been doing it for 35 years, is worth the time regardless of what you subsequently decide.
